Dearest College-freshman Eric,
What lies ahead for you on this mix is a gift from 5 years in the future. It represents a few highlights of your personal soundtrack from particular moments in time during your 5-year-stint in college. If that makes any sense.

For you all: a peek into the audiobiography of Eric. In pseudo no-related-order.

Track Description:
On your personal soundtrack, you will find this at the front end of a great many of your mixes. This is your under-the-weather song for overcast-sky days with slight showers. Remember to follow this one up with something funky, because you don't always have to talk to clouds on cloudy days.

Track Description:
4th floor of the dorms, south wing, Steve's room. After drinking all night you will barely escape legal incident by feigning a makeout session with two girls to avoid a door-call from the dorm narcs and a police officer escort.

Track Description:
This will only take you a month or two to uncover, but I don't want you to waste any time. I don't want to spoil the fun / suprise, but this song quickly becomes track one on the ultimate makeout mixtape that you will be compiling over the next five years.

Track Description:
On the flipside, some of those makeout sessions will lead to an amazing amount of heartbreak and personal anguish on your end of the bargain. It's going to be shitty, but trust your gut, the scales will eventually tip in the right direction.

Track Description:
Okay, I kind of understated it, it's going to be really shitty. For a long time. You'll stumble over this track while digging through your old collection and find it amazingly magnetic, albeit depressing as fuck.

Track Description:
But on the upside, when you are a junior, some nerdy-ass guys will band together. Armed with software specifically written to decode NES cartridge audio tracks they will flawlessly recreate the soundtracks from three of your favourite games of all time. In one track. With rock guitar. Oh yes.

Track Description:
The college crew, all but tired of party-hoping, the warm pre-summer saturday night ends at home, early. Spent with good friends on the couch nested in the front lawn, drinking shitty beer and listening to Madvillain, you'll cement your belief that the people are much more important than the party.

Track Description:
Windows down, driving to Portland, she turned out to be a better Creative-writing peer-reviewer than she was a girlfriend but damn if that wasn't a boatload of smiles and post-teen excitement. When reviewing her paper, be sure to point out that Sri Lanka is often referred to as 'The Pearl of the Indian Ocean' -- it'll net you big points.

Track Description:
It won't take you long to realize that if you'd rather listen to an album on headphones than spend any time with the girl you're involved with, it's probably good to get out at that point. Pay attention to the switchup at 1:37 -- it's so wonderfully unexpected.

Track Description:
Throughout all the girl-strife, someday in the future, you'll reconnect with a girl who captures your heart in some strange fashion. She'll curl up next to you and take cat naps to Cat Power. Does it get any better? Not as far as your future self can see.

Track Description:
Don't even second-guess your trip down to Coachella. Your grades slip a little, but the outcome is so totally worth it. Amazing performance with amazing friends. A life highlight to date.

Track Description:
Despite your good intentions and uncanny chivalry skills, you will receive one 'you kinda broke my heart a little bit' mix from a girl after some bad choices. This is the opening track. A reminiscent song for the ghost of a passing relationship.

Track Description:
Some day, you'll meet this kid named Corey who wears and Isis shirt, owns a Metal Zone pedal and likes to program. You'll team up and do some fun shit. Keep listening to these guys, as it is a great way to break the ice when you first meet.

The Riot Badge II is chemically designed and pH balanced for those who are helping fuel the flames of this mixtape fire by recruiting large quantities of new members. Truly, one of the highest honors among the MTC ranks.
